Discussion
12:02 Michael DeBellis: Here's what I think is the YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtMaHCjMHZM
12:03 Mark Underwood: Cool. There was some YT latency for me, so I didn't dual-stream
12:31 Mark Underwood: Related to the mention of social science ontologies -- I had occasion to consult an earlier Summit that addressed uncertainty
12:51 Mark Underwood: I'm working on a book length Mss on specialization. This rate of change in subspecializations is impacting areas such as expert witness selection in US federal courts ... (Off topic)
12:58 Mark Underwood: Cognitive psychology also studies common sense as a phenomenon in itself. How it is formed, how it is used, and how it can be improved. There is research that shows that sometimes common sense intuitions can interfere with the learning of scientific concepts.
12:58 Mike Denny: One salient example of common sense is Pat Hayes' (1978) Naïve Physics where he refers to common basic knowledge.
12:59 Mark Underwood: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2309535121
13:08 janet singer: common sense (n.)
late 14c., originally an internal mental power supposed to unite (reduce to a common perception) the impressions conveyed by the five physical senses (Latin sensus communis, Greek koine aisthesis). Thus "ordinary understanding, without which one is foolish or insane" (1530s); the meaning "good sense" is from 1726. Also, as an adjective, common-sense "characterized by common sense" (1854).
also from late 14c.
13:14 Mike Denny: Dynamic ontology, including non-monotonic properties, perhaps applies well to A-box parts of an ontology, but just the opposite for t-box parts where you want stability for interoperability.
